Raducanu’s Renewed Vigor on Display in Second US Open Triumph

A renewed vigor was palpable in Emma Raducanu’s every move as she triumphed over Janice Tjen 6-2, 6-1. The British star played with an energy and passion that has been missing for much of the past few years, signaling a true mental and physical revitalization at the US Open.
This newfound energy was evident in her explosive movement around the court and the aggressive intent behind every shot. She attacked the ball with gusto, her powerful serve and forehand doing most of the damage. This was a player enjoying her tennis, feeding off the crowd, and playing with a clear love for the fight.
This vigor is a stark contrast to the often-subdued player who has battled injuries and pressure since her 2021 win. She looks physically stronger and mentally refreshed, ready to embrace the challenges of a Grand Slam campaign. This positive energy is infectious and is clearly translating into a higher level of performance on the court.
With this renewed spirit, Raducanu is not just a technically skilled player but also a formidable competitor. Her passion and energy, combined with her immense talent, make for a winning combination. As she moves into the third round, this vigor will be a powerful weapon in her arsenal.
